The Global Classroom Project began in Deb Frazier's first grade class in March of 2011 when her students were learning about other cultures through books. One little boy named Puju went home and told his parents what he had learned about India, their native land. His father informed him that the things he learned were not true. Deb then realized, "From there we knew we needed more than books ... We needed to talk with people in other cultures to really discover the many ways in which they meet their needs.” So she created a VoiceThread and teamed up with six teachers from five different countries for the first global project. Last year the Global Classroom grew to 330 teachers from 35 countries from 6 continents. Deb's Global Classroom team decided that instead of hosting a single project, they would create a global learning community, "building the collaborative spaces, resources, and global network to enable teachers and students to share, learn and collaborate on the world stage" .
